Love using Gamma SIP trunks on 3CX, but it does annoy me that the built in SIP provisioning template doesn’t work well out to the box. I’m probably being finickity, but it would be nice if the templates just asked you what they need to work and put it where it should be.

So here is how we set up Gamma trunks.

3CX Gamma SIP trunk settings

First part is done for you out of the template. Use the Registrar server from the SBC section on the Gamma portal. They do have several, so don’t assume all your clients are the same.

3CX SIP trunk Authentication settings

Note format of Authentication ID. This is the main number that Gamma assign to the SIP trunk. We use E.164 format, not sure if changing that would change the format of this. Gamma authenticate using IP, but still need this to be correct.

3CX SIP Trunk Routing

Main trunk number is the main CLI that Gamma have given you routing is obviously your own.

SIP trunk default Caller ID

We use CLI Flexibilty on most of our Gamma trunks which allows us to define the outgoing CLI that we present. Useful if, like us, you are using a non-geographic number, or are migrating to Gamma and want to use your existing numbers whilst they port.

We define our default caller ID here. This is the default, you can define individual ones under a users extension settings.

P-Asserted Identity settings in Outbound Parameters

I’ve truncated most of the image because the template is correct, but to use CLI Flexibility you have to present a P-Asserted Identity to Gamma. This passes your authentication DDI as the From part of the SIP conversation will show the CLI you set above.

This is on 3CX v15, but the settings are the same for previous versions.
